Made this for our deep fried Christmas turkey and it was fantastic. At first I thought that there were too many bay leaves ( 25 is a lot) but everything was delicious. I used a small coffee grinder to grind the bay leaves into a fine powder.

This was perfect! At my office we each brought in a turkey to fry; 5 in all. Everone used an injected marinade recipe except me. This dry rub was unanimously rated the best of all the turkeys by far. Delicious flavor. Thanks for the great rub recipe.

I made this rub for my Thanksgiving turkey last year and had to google it to find it again for this year. I also used the creole butter injection kit and injected the turkey all throughout. The end result was one of the juiciest turkeys ever. Can't wait to do it again this year...

This IS the perfect rub. I've tried others, but they only make me wish I'd used this one. I used a mortar and pestle to grind the bay leaves in my first few endeavors, and got a real workout in my forearms. Switched to my old, forgotten Braun coffee grinder and the job is don literally in seconds. Seal the rubbed-down turkey in a 2-1/2 gallon zip-lock bag, and refridgerate for 8 to 24 hours -- HEAVEN!

WOW!! This was so good. I followed the instructions exactly. I marinated the turkey for 2 days and really agree that it made a world of difference. The herb flavoring really penetrated the meat and was so delicious. We had a large family dinner and everyone raved how amazing the turkey was. I was pretty impressed. This is definitely a rub you should try!
